THE BEST OFFER (2013)

There’s always
something authentic concealed in every forgery.

An art expert,
his secluded private corner of collection, an enigmatic young woman, her
antique inheritance, a mechanical automaton, a strange relationship &
tragedy. This interesting latest offering by Tornatore is surely has engaging
build up of art, romance & mystery. Though there’s nothing new or
extraordinary about plot and though it become emotionally manipulative towards
the end (like most of Tornatore), it didn’t fail to serve the beauty, art &
tragedy of life in general. The film absolutely deserves better ending and by ‘better’ I don’t mean happy one but
something striking or beautiful that give us lingering after taste and it’s
something that Tornatore is capable of.

Taking the
whole film on his shoulder, Geoffery Rush gave another brilliant performance in
his shining active career. He plays here an expert man of art living with the rare
and most beautiful Master portraits of women still devoid a company of single
woman in his life. The man, who perfectly knows forgery in art, fails to recognize
one in personal case. The plot becomes predictable & cliché even though
coiled under element of mystery but at the same time it shows talent of an
actor who pulled it so brilliantly till that very last frame and still made you
insatiable. Ennio Morricone is still active and he can still gave the cinema an evocative score. Recommended watch, if not for Tornatore than surely for Geoffery Rush.

Born in 1977 and professionally lecturer,I love to explore life in all its intricacies around me. Reading-imagining-thinking, watching/analysing films, listening music are more than passion- obsession and compulsion for me to survive like air, water and food. Only like minded ones can understand some of my lunatic passion while reading this blog.I also love to meet people, hanging out different places, observe people while trying to adjust the struggling identities of being animal and human.
